used to be into hardstyle few years back. more of the q dance dj's tho. zany, prophet, project 1, headhunterz, d block and s-te-fan etc i went to Qlimax couple years back, f**kin mental

Il stick to the mp3 320kbps. It sounds like it will be best suited to my useage. But im glad i asked, as now i have a small insight into the differences. excellent. a new genre at 320 it is and its $9.99 for a group of 20. nice. http://www.addictech.com/p/175653

forgive me, whats lossless? i think il give them a go. i need stuff to play at 2pm sunday afternoon by the pool ... and headhunterz is just a bit too hard lol. ( just kidding, I did use to be big into it. Ive even been to Qlimax@ The GelreDome, Arnhem, about 6 years ago ... since then, ive just lost touch with hardstyle, but recently tried to get back into it. F**k me, thats hard. Dont know how i did it )

ok guys, i know im going a bit ott with the threads/posts etc. but i honestly have so many questions ... Question 1. do you guys play different genres much ? I love house/trance bangers, its my main 'go to'. But just been on addictech (thanks beatless) ... and im really feeling the 'BOSPHORUS UNDERGROUND' label. Described as Techno ... tagged as 'Dope • Funky • Heavy • House • Progressive • Techno • Vocal'.Not my thing, or so I thought. Ive got few albums from them in my wanted. (30-40 choons). Do you guys mix genres much? different nights? clubs? partys? for fun ? Im thinking of pulling the trigger on them and giving it a go. Im only going to be bedroom'ing for a long time, but to be able to play different genres surely can only strengthen my skills? Question. 2. advantages of mp3 Vs Wav vs flac. addictech offers 192 kbps, 320kbps, flac and wav ... all $1 more expensive than the previous. whats the difference? is it worth paying the extra money for WAV ? 320 kbps MP3 Vs WAV ... $9.99 Vs 11.99 per album.

Thanks mate. I'll check them out right this minute

Check out the YouTube channel "TheSoundYouNeed". Real summery vibes thanks man !

this thread has got me thinking .... im having a 30th birthday pool party this weekend coming .... any1 going to have anything for me too play ? **im off to raid the MOTD thread**

yeah mitch, thats what ive been doing,just grabbing anything. Can you guys literally grab any song, and mix it, without knowing the song ? Ive been mixing songs without knowing them. with average results.s some good some bad. il choose 2 sets of 5, and mix them about a bit. thanks anyway cupe, ill defintaly not be beat juggling any time soon

So i've watched numerous videos on how to DJ. But how did you learn? Ive practiced 2 of the same tunes. Ive so-so got beatmatching. I understand beats, bars and phrases (well enough for now i think). did you guys stick to a few records? practice the same mix over and over? just grab anything and give it a go? at the minute, im just sort of grabbing anything and giving it a go. sometimes working, sometimes not ? or should i chose 10 records, play them in the same order, practice try and get a decent mix going ? thanks

yea its true about everyone doing it, i dont hear much of the house producers using it. Its either all out dubstep madness or nothing. i suppose those couple tracks should do, only like one or 2 thrown in now and then.

....Hello these days !! .... now, a more sensible me, trying to get into DJ'ing ... again ...... =D> this is my thing !!

when i first tried DJ'ing circa year 2000/1/2 (somwehere around then) this was one of my favourite choons, pity id rather be off my face listening to it in clubs than playing it myself. Maybe I coulda been DJ'in by now !! good times, good pills, good parties so long those days

thanks man il get that rigged up tomorrow

I actually just had a look at the back of a DJM400 specifically, as i've never used one You COULD run your controller into it without unplugging the cdjs, and just use the mixer. There is a switch to flick between line/phono on the second input for the channel. So you could plug your cdjs into the cdj inputs on each channel, then on channel 1 flick that switch on the back to line, and plug your controller into there. Then you use the switch above your EQs on the mixer to switch between your CDJ and your controller on channel 1. That would be a better way to do it nice. thanks mate. Il maybe go down that route. so just as long as its set to LINE, no damage should be done. only the phono is amped for analogue. Line is just another digital input ... non amped. fine for CDJS, controllers etc? thanks BTW. i dont mind swapping cables for now, but ideally i would rather not have 2.

or this one ? probably prefer the jay car one. http://www.dicksmith.com.au/tv-video-accessories/4-way-universal-audio-video-switch-selector-dsau-l4680

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=AC1650 whats this? think ive found it? this it? will this work? should i buy this?

thanks. learn something new everyday. looks like a Rca switch box is the way to go. in regards to the EQ levels, it isnt my picture. I google robbed it.

but just thinking about it, my concern was the soundcard built into the controller, doing some damage to the mixer ... but cdjs have soundcards built in. ...its like a cdj playing, without the mixer on .... if i dont have to have the mixer on, id rather not. im in two minds.

yea guys, on a 2 channel pioneer djm400.... just a thought, can i use a phone/line .... ? then just flick the toggle from cdj/controller. this wont cause any damage? cant imagine it, as essentially its the same as running cdj through it. Just thought id check. thanks guys (not my photo)

not working man

...also, my crowd (girlfriend) sorta likes the more commercial stuff

thanks man. I wouldnt give deadmau5 the time of day a few months back, but for a more laid back, kinda funky, sunday afternoon mix, i dont mind it .... especially because i find it quite easy to mix, being a newb an all

yea, he amuses me. I actually dont mind some of his stuff either

ok guys, I run decks/mixer and a controller. I swap between the two. i want the eliminate the need to physically change the RCAs from mixer to controller. If i get a set of piggy back RCAs ... will this be ok? wont backfeed into my mixer or anything?
